"Mäuse," meaning "mice" in German, is a detailed animal study by Carl Reichert, a German artist known for his meticulous depictions of nature. The artwork features three mice, rendered with remarkable realism, interacting with bread crumbs on a simple, neutral background. Reichert's keen eye for detail is evident in the mice's fur, whiskers, and expressive postures. The composition, with its focus on the intimate world of small creatures, reflects a trend of naturalism popular in 19th-century art.
